how to spend your stimulus check
The federal government is sending each and every one of us a $600 rebate.
If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, the money will go to China
If we spend it on gasoline it will go to the Arabs
If we purchase a computer it will go to India
If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala
If we purchase a good car it will go to Japan
If we purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan
and none of it will help the American economy.
The only way to keep that money here at home is to buy prostitutes and beer, since these are the only products still produced in the U.S.

Re: how to spend your stimulus check
I saw that on CNN- except that for the last part, it said to spend it on Garage sales, because thats the only way to keep the money in the american economy.
It really is kind of sad and scarey when you think about how dependant we are on all these other countries.
(sorry to be a downer on what was probably supposed to be a funny thread)

Re: how to spend your stimulus check
Most of that is true unless it's an American-owned company. In which case, yes, some of the profits will go to pay overseas labor (since we no longer produce much in this country) but the majority of the profits will stay in this country.
Buy American gasoline. Buy HESS.

what if you go to disney and seaworld?
Leo's portion went to a new bike off of craigslist as my mother's day present.
